Description
This sign designates a permitted smoking zone within a workplace that operates a hybrid smoking policy. It marks the boundary of the designated area, clearly informing smokers they have entered a lawful smoking location. State legislation varies: NSW and Victoria require minimum 4 m clearance from building entrances; Queensland mandates 5 m; other states range 4–10 m. Position this sign at the zone perimeter and pair it with "No Smoking Within X Metres" notices at building entries for full compliance. Offered in colorbond, polypropylene, or vinyl in four sizes from 180×250 mm to 450×600 mm. Optional lamination and pre-drilled holes streamline installation. Bulk pricing available for multi-site workplace networks.
Final sign type, wording, size, placement and material depend on the site risk, project specification and applicable jurisdiction. Confirm the requirement with the relevant WHS adviser or regulator.

Frequently asked
What's the correct distance from the building entrance in my state?
NSW/VIC: 4 m minimum. QLD: 5 m. SA/WA/TAS/NT/ACT: 4–10 m (check your local workplace health authority). Always confirm with your state's legislation before finalising the zone boundary.
Do I need both this sign and 'No Smoking' notices?
Yes. Place this sign at the zone boundary to identify the permitted area. Post 'No Smoking Within X Metres' signs at building entrances, car parks, and other smoke-free zones to complete your signage system.
Which material is best for outdoor smoking areas?
Colorbond offers superior UV and weather resistance for permanent outdoor zones. Polypropylene suits semi-sheltered courtyards. Vinyl is adequate for covered or low-traffic areas.
Can I add lamination to protect against rain?
Yes. Lamination extends the life of vinyl and polypropylene signs in wet conditions, though colorbond is already weather-sealed. Choose lamination for high-moisture environments.
What if we relocate the smoking zone later?
Order a new sign for the revised boundary. Contact us for bulk pricing if you're updating multiple sites or zones simultaneously.
